These two new box office movies have been recently released in Cinema's and Im planning on going to watch them both over the holidays at some point, so here are some details, trailers and reviews of them and tell me your thoughts and which one you would want to see and why.
The "Other Guys"
Description - NYPD Detectives Christopher Danson and P.K. Highsmith are the baddest and most beloved cops in New York City. They don't get tattoos – other men get tattoos of them. Two desks over and one back, sit Detectives Allen Gamble and Terry Hoitz. You've seen them in the background of photos of Danson and Highsmith, out of focus and eyes closed. They're not heroes – they're "the Other Guys." But every cop has his or her day and soon Gamble and Hoitz stumble into a seemingly innocuous case no other detective wants to touch that could turn into New York City's biggest crime. It's the opportunity of their lives, but do these guys have the right stuff?

Description - Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) is a U.S. citizen working as a contract driver in Iraq. After a swift and sudden attack on his convoy, he awakens to find himself buried alive inside a coffin with nothing more than a lighter, a cell phone, and little memory of how he ended up there. Faced with limited oxygen and unlimited panic, Paul finds himself in a tension-filled race against time to escape this claustrophobic death-trap before it's too late.

seen those trailers a while back but havent seen any of da films yet ;
my mates literally cannot shut up about the other guys nd they say its da most funniest movie evaaaaaaaa might watch dem 2nite or sumthing ; buried looks like a great thriller , im eager 2 c how he gets out of a coffin haha
Other Guys is average. Only a few really good scenes throughout. Don't go in expecting to see another Step Brothers sort of film, not saying the acting or story wasn't great because they served their purpose, just there could have been more scenes in it like the Lion vs. Tuna scene.
Watching Buried tonight with some mates, should be good and watching Other Guys next week after Exams with a mate aswell should be fun, I reckon Buried is a movie you either love or hate, but its very sophisticated and well produced and is very unique, depends if your the kind of person who can keep up with the story and not get bored.
Will Ferrel brings out the kid inside of you, he's hilarious but his comedy doesn't exactly involve any intelligence haha.
the other guys was horrible (sorry but it is). there were like 3 or 4 scenes that were actually a little funny and the rest were just plain boring and i nearly fell asleep watching it =/
